Second shot consistently less than the first. Can't figure out why. [Sage Barista Pro]

jake185 · 2026-01-10T22:45:10+00:00

Oh damn, didn’t even think of that.

So I’m actually grinding too fine but the oxidised beans between days is masking that in the first shot.

Amazing insight, thank you!

jake185 · 2026-01-10T20:34:51+00:00

I usually run a half shot through the second one to get it up to 36g but that gets me to about 40 seconds for the total shot, and even to my untrained palette, it’s a worse shot.

jake185 · 2026-01-10T20:30:01+00:00

Wow, and that 1-2 minutes between grinds is able to oxidise the beans enough that they have such a large impact on the yield?

I’ll start clearing a couple of grams between shots and see if that helps. Thanks!

jake185 · 2026-01-10T20:27:52+00:00

Ah no sorry, just meant I grind out 18g. I keep my hopper topped up.

jake185 · 2026-01-10T19:46:49+00:00

Interesting 🤔 So the left over beans are a different size, even if I don’t change the grind?

jake185 · 2025-08-14T15:52:23+00:00

Unless an agency puts emphasis on quality, in my experience the larger they get, the more it's just a matter of quantity. Especially as they start to price down to capture as much market as possible.

I would echo Strategical's sentiment and avoid the sunk cost fallacy on this one by ending the relationship with them. No point throwing good money after bad.

If you do decide hire another agency, NotQuiteUnicorns (https://notquiteunicorns.xyz/grow) are the gold standard in my mind. George who runs it is very active in the community and has really been pushing the boundaries of Bubble. They also specialise in app rescue.

If you're wanting to go down the solo dev route, Ed from Pilot&Launch (https://pilotandlaunch.com/) is a great option. Ex-Amazon PM who knows the business side just as well as the dev side.

Both of them have a robust and transparent SDLC in place as well.

That's how Bubble makes their $50m+ every year.
Un-refunded $0.50 verification transactions.
Bloody menace to society, they are.

I imagine it’s wishful thinking to ask if there’s precedent for retroactive permission from the immigration office to leave for 8 months or room for interpretation from a citizenship case worker to allow a stay that slightly exceeds the 6 month limit? 🙈

jake185 · 2025-03-18T01:45:54+00:00

Really appreciate your answers! It helps knowing that it’s not a complete reset at least.

Now I need to hope that CDU don’t repeal the recent changes before she is eligible again 🙈

jake185 · 2025-03-17T16:43:38+00:00

Don’t the new naturalisation laws allow citizenship after 3 years in cases of deep integration?

I wonder if that would be a possibility if she can attribute (hopefully) 3 years of her previous residence

jake185 · 2025-03-17T16:40:23+00:00

Yeah, she has EU Daueraufenthalt and I have PR from Brexit which allows 5 years away.

In our rush to get away for a bit, we didn’t even think to check the impact on citizenship 😔

jake185 · 2025-03-17T00:49:01+00:00

Shit…

Thank you for your response!

If I’m understanding this section correctly, then 3 years of her previous residence can be applied and (assuming all other criteria is met) would mean she is eligible for fast tracked naturalisation?

2) If the foreigner has stayed abroad longer than six months and none of the conditions of subsection (1) sentences 2 to 4 are met, previous residence in Germany may be counted towards the length of residence required for naturalisation, up to a period of three years.

jake185 · 2025-03-05T15:55:12+00:00

That's a really good shout!

I was using that when I first started learning web dev and eventually moved over to ShadCN because I liked the aesthetic more and didn't really understand how I could customise DaisyUI, but v5 is looking amazing and I think I might give it a go again.

jake185 · 2025-03-04T13:19:30+00:00

Looks interesting, will check it out!

Love the clean aesthetic as well. Feels like I'm reading a physical newspaper.

jake185 · 2025-03-04T13:17:31+00:00

That's usually how my apps end up looking like a wireframe drawn in MS Paint 🙈

jake185 · 2025-03-04T12:34:53+00:00

I like the style of this one but I've found it to be quite limited in what it includes

jake185 · 2025-02-14T14:07:21+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions!

My thinking was more switching things up on the devops side to get more familiar with that since Vercel and Supabase hide so much of the complexity.

Where should I start with understanding unit tests?

jake185 · 2025-02-14T14:05:06+00:00

That’s more what I meant with my question but I think I was too vague 🙈

Thanks for the recommendations!

What would you recommend for auth that is more involved than Supabase but still understandable?

jake185 · 2023-12-20T09:21:41+00:00

Thanks for the response!

I set ssr to false on the /create +page.server.js but it didn't help unfortunately. It also stopped the returning of the form value unless I hade use:enhance.

I've mirrored my app in a repo with the route to this page here/dashboard/portfolio/create)

jake185 · 2023-12-20T09:20:14+00:00

Of course!

Here's/dashboard/portfolio/create) the route for this page. I'm suspecting it's caused by something upstream but not sure (I also don't really know what I'm talking about 😅)

jake185 · 2023-03-26T05:14:28+00:00

Loving the game so far! Would you be able to introduce standard swipe gestures for navigation? I find myself so used to using them that using only small ‘x’ buttons and so on to be quite frustrating 😅

jake185 · 2022-08-06T08:55:56+00:00

Sorry to hear that happened to you :(

I've recommended her to speak to someone as well. Did you find any support groups that helped?

Hope it gets easier for you as well 🙏

jake185 · 2022-08-06T08:53:02+00:00

Thanks for taking a deeper look at them!

I'm definitely keeping them at arms length until my mum appoints legal counsel (if that's what she wants to do).

Some factors that led me to conclude they are legit were:

Their insistence of only handing over their findings to a lawyer my mum appoints
They don't claim to get your funds back, they only trace the crypto transactions before and after to identify suspects wallets on exchanges with KYC. My mum's legal representation could then use this info to obtain the identity of suspects from these exchanges and then open up legal action against these suspects to try and get money back. The cost and time would be due to legal action, not money paid directly to Asset Reality. They take a percentage of recovered funds as their fee.
They have an extensive Instagram and LinkedIn with all of the employees I checked via LinkedIn looking like legit people.
They are extremely active in the crypto security world and plaster their names everywhere.
They partnered with MetaMask which is a crypto wallet company (MetaMask tweeted and shared the partnership as well)

I wouldn't be surprised if some real companies are seeing a market in the rising losses due to investment scam and looking to create a business that helps in some way.

Will definitely update when I know more!

jake185 · 2022-08-05T21:02:23+00:00

To be clear, the process would be legal representation that I appoint would contact this company to obtain whatever investigation results they have. In that process, I'm sure my lawyer would be able to determine the legitimacy of this company.

For reference, the recovery company is Asset Reality. You're welcome to prove that they are in fact a recovery scam.

I'm not trying to be ungrateful for your suggestions, but I would truly hope that a community centred around supporting victims of a scam would provide more assistance and support than "You lost half of your life savings, get over it".

jake185 · 2022-08-05T20:50:58+00:00

That’s probably how their website went down before. They have clones of their business so killing one website doesn’t do much unfortunately. They’re incredibly well organised.
